## Abstract The neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) gene functions as a tumor suppressor gene. One known function of neurofibromin, the NF1 protein product, is to accelerate the slow intrinsic GTPase activity of Ras to increase the production of inactive rasGDP, with wideβranging effects on p21ras pathw
The two main peripheral nerve sheath tumors found in patients with neurofibromatosis, type 1 (NF1), are neurofibroma, a benign tumor, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST). The tumors are related in that most MPNSTs are thought to arise by malignant transformation of neurofibromas. Suc
